Target
ASK1 (MAP3K5)
(Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase 5 (MAP3K5))
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades are activated in response to various extracellular stimuli, including cytokines, growth factors and environmental stresses. A novel MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) was recently identified and designated ASK1 (for apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) and MAPKKK5 (1-3). ASK1 activated two different subgroups of MAPKK, MKK4 and MKK6, which in turn activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinase, respectively. ASK1/MAPKKK5 is activated by TNFR and Fas through the interaction with members of the TRAF family and Fas-associated protein Daxx. Overexpression of ASK1 induced apoptotic cell death, and a catalytically inactive form of ASK1 inhibited TNF-?-induced apoptosis. ASK1 is expressed in variety of tissues and cell lines.Synonyms: Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1, MAP3K5, MAPK/ERK kinase kinase 5, MAPKKK5, Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5
